Take a journey back in time to when finesse, elegance and etiquette were the hallmarks of the era. A time when stately homes were effortlessly kept by house proud wives, where rooms were fashioned with the finest of intricate detail to ensure grace and longevity.
This home provides joy from go to woe, surprising with a myriad of delightful formal rooms behind its regal heritage styled brick, render and tile frontage.
With a location on Middleton Road directly across the road from a gourmet deli and minutes from both town and the beach, it is pleasing to discover that once you step beyond the shaded foliage screen, through the garden path and up the pathway to the front entrance, a quiet peacefulness can be found.
The first grand sitting room is found immediately upon entry, with a front sunlounge surrounded by windows to take in the views toward the beach and islands, the warmth of wooden floorboards giving a hearty feel. From there, living rooms unfold in a series of interconnected spaces, each with their own personality, starting with the formal lounge room, with its gently flickering faux wood log gas fireplace, decorative frosted glass double doorway and dashingly high ceilings.
Heritage sympathetic tones of greens and blues give class to the whole home, including the next space, a formal dining area with decorative cornices, chunky awning windows and a showpiece ceiling rose.
From the front entrance you may also choose to mosey across to the sizable master suite- a giant character filled bedroom with massive window frontage, polished boards and a giant ensuite with shower, toilet and vanity amongst powder blue tones.
A central hallway links all of these spaces together with easy flowing entrances, moving forward to a second kids bedroom/nursery in a unique L shape design which allows room for bunk beds, a study and space to play and features built in robes.
The open kitchen space at the centre of the home conjures up images of family roasts, round table chatter, and the odd cheeky tea towel flicking contest or two! Its decor is styled to retain a classic style that will still be pleasing on the eye long after modern trends have passed. The solid oven is tucked away in its own recess and the space is surrounded by glass front cabinets and under bench storage.
A rustic screen door leads through to a functional rear sunroom which promenades along the rear of the home with glass on both sides.
A third bedroom can be found in the rear section, an absolute pearler with French style windows running the entire length of the room complimenting the gabled ceiling and terracotta tiles.
A second bathroom and the spacious laundry can also be found in the rear section, perfect for access while entertaining.
Outside, via a series of glass doors and screens can be found the mother of all patios enticing you to make outdoor dining a daily occurrence. The yard fold out grandly, with an orchard of fruit trees, veggie patch and plenty of soft lawn for play, and there’s a double garage, workshop and garden shed at the end of the modern bitchumised driveway for easy access.
Bundled together, it is a prime example of a home whose appeal will last forever!
